Liberal because the local candidate is good and we need shot of the ex labour muppet who ousted nick clegg he is a pathetic excuse for a politician and would resign if he had an ounce of courage or conscience!

I thought he was gone? or just no longer Labour? with what went on behind the scenes I'm surprised he is still in office let alone not in jail.
 
It'd be interesting if a tonne of MPs who are popular locally decided to drop out and go independent on principle. No party whip holding sway over them therefore causing a potential conflict of interest with their constituents.

One thing that really annoys me is the whole, "three line whip" scenario meaning that their own good conscience often has to take a back seat.

Sitting in the loosest possible terms he has delivered one self indulgent fluff speech in parliament, his voting record is 'inconsistent' to say the least and his constituency work almost non-existent. It is embarrassing that he is still drawing a wage (and expenses) from the tax payer. We should be ale to boot him out much more easily for failing to do even a token job.

I was amazed when the Labour Party quietly brushed his indiscretions under the carpet, guess they were scared of loosing the by-election to local lib dem candidate who wasn't clegg so not tarnished with the coalition that people might look on more favourably now we have had a few years of the blue brigade unchecked!
 
I'll vote for anyone who campaigns on a platform of reversing Brexit (or at the least offering a people's vote), especially given the justification for ploughing on post the last GE was a lack of support for parties supporting staying in the EU. At the moment that means the Lib Dems, if Labour reverse their position on the subject then they will get my vote. This is probably the first and (hopefully) last time I'd consider voting for a party based on a single issue.

And so dies democracy or rather democracy is ultimately a sham without an actual option to vote that it isn't working (not just spoilt ballot, etc. but an actual selectable option).

Technically speaking, being registered to vote but not voting is a vote that declares it isn't working/nobody worth voting for.

Realistically though unless turn out was crazy low it doesn't really count for anything it doesn't have the same weight as a box that can be ticked.

That's a good quote in your post about minority voting in safe seats and a pov I hadn't thought of before.

So I'll probably change my mind from last month where I said I wouldn't vote and go for the LDs again

I'm genuinely happy that I've helped someone change their mind and vote :)

Whoever is most likely to beat conservative, which here would be labour. (its bullcrap tactical voting politics, but what else can I do...)

For local councillor it would be green, as one of four councillors is green and has been for years. They (the greens) have done great things for the town ever since getting in. Way more than the 3 remaining cons, who were in the process of running down the local outdoor swimming pool and town hall in order to sell off to their buddies. The green guy uncovered this, stopped it and started running them properly, funnily enough they have always been in profit ever since... they also got a second rail line in for easy hourly transport into london and did the train station up which had been really bad for years.

Plus ça change, I’m exactly the same, but for whoever will keep Labour out, where I live, it has to be Lib-Dems.
